Retardgate is back

If you now want to make this a "'Family Guy' sucks" thread, you'll get no opposition from me.

[rah]

None from me either.

I've tried to watch FG a few times. I have friends who say it is great. I think it sucks bigtime. I like SouthPark.

Oh SouthPark never makes fun of people.

Do you even try to make people think you are serious?

I didn't know FG was so left-wing. I thought it just sucked naturally.

Navarette may not be retarded but he is a douche.

but south park is funny, and the jokes are within context of the episodes, not just a string of non-sequitors.

[rah]

FOR THE WIN. Exactly, an I'm not a big fan of SP either.

[Theben]

It has plenty to do with that.

It establishes that this was an isolated incident in specific context; therefore, it cannot be extracted from that context to stand on its own as some kind of personal statement. End of story. You lose.

I don't understand why you and Patty are getting all worked up over this. 1st of all, I've been very busy lately, and 2nd, like Guy said it has absolutely NOTHING to do with Rush (for the umpteenth time) and EVERYTHING to do with Sarah's hypocrisy. Can you understand that?

fg is better then most **** on tv. that article should have picked a better example then clinton. fg make gags at his expense pretty often.

also i think fox hade a few fingers in the editing room on that episode. while they can swing and miss alot fg isnt tame.

good for fox anyway. score points whit liberal douches and give there talking heads something to blabber about.

Has anyone actually bothered to mention that the actress playing the part on FG is a person with Downs Syndrome? Perhaps she's best fit to judge what's insulting to her minority group...

Sarah Palin needs to lighten up? According to Andrea Fay Friedman, the woman who portrayed a character with Down syndrome on the animated comedy "Family Guy," she does. Palin lashed out at the Fox show on her Facebook page, calling last Sunday's episode a disappointment and like "another kick in the gut." Palin's youngest son, Trig, has Down syndrome.

But so does Friedman, who said "I guess former governor Palin does not have a sense of humor." She added that in her house, laughing is considered a good thing, and that the joke was aimed at the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, not Palin's son.

I've only quick-scanned the thread but didn't see it mentioned.

[Ecofarm]

And as long as a minority is playing the character, no foul... right?

Perhaps we are to presume that ***** are pro-suicide bombing?

[DaShi]

Are you thick?

[Ecofarm]

Well, some ***** suicide bombed (remote detonated). So if what they do = ok with them, then...

[DaShi]

I'll take that as a yes.

[Berzerker]

I dont think Limbaugh was quoting Rahm, he said leftist groups were being retarded and Rush started calling people retards. Aint quite the same, "thats stupid" /= you're stupid

btw, sometimes I'm stupid - can someone explain the joke? I saw the cartoon clip and have no idea why it was funny or offensive.

[Guynemer]

It's neither.
